Just for today let’s recognize our own humanity in every person we meet.
This is easy to do when you don’t know someone or when you love someone, but much harder to do with people who don’t see the world the way you do.
This one little exercise stretches us and it almost always teaches us.
The person who is extra sensitive to your words probably has a legitimate reason.
The person who is putting on a brave face might not want to be a burden.
The person who helps everyone else might not know how to let someone help him.
The person who is disrespectful might not feel seen.
Just for today let’s recognize these little nuances and try to see the why behind who they are.
We don’t need to save them, in fact that’s not helpful at all.
We just need to see them.
